The Ohio Hip Hop Awards Board

The Ohio Hip Hop Awards & Music Conference is dedicated to bringing recognition to the state’s hard working Hip Hop artists & associated entertainment entities. Our mission is to recognize and reward those who are making a positive and impactful difference in the scene, while simultaneously educating participants on the best practices towards success. Every year thousands of industry professionals and fans come to support the Ohio Hip Hop scene at the state’s largest networking and social event. The OHHA & Music Conference is a several month process that directly interacts with thousands of Hip Hop fans across the great buckeye state. The main event is a 3 day weekend full of workshops, professional industry panels, networking socials, talent showcases, an award show, and of course the hottest industry parties!

Every September, tastemakers from around the state convene to celebrate another successful year in Ohio Hip Hop & urban culture. Last year the Ohio Hip Hop Awards & Music Conference was a monumental event in Ohio's Hip Hop history, and now the show is back for its seventh season. Together, let's make September 2012 a September to remember!

Join us in honoring our state’s music artists, DJ's, break dancers, graffiti artists, promoters, managers, record labels, and media for their contributions to our growing entertainment scene!
